Fire stopping in Beauly, done properly
Facilities managers in Beauly often find open service penetrations when ceilings come down for other work. If a specification already covers those walls and floors, we can reseal to it. With no specification in place, the first step sits with your designer or fire engineer, not with us. Site teams most often ask us about expanding foam used as fire stopping and openings found when ceilings come down for a refit, on pipe penetrations, small duct penetrations where the tested detail allows and joints between fire-resisting walls and floors. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Beauly? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Travel to smaller places like Beauly is planned so every penetration is sealed on one trip. Photos of the gaps, the services and the wall or floor type help us bring the right products.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Common problems we fix in Beauly
Most open service penetrations are left by later work. New cabling, rerouted pipework or a data route drilled through a riser leaves an opening that nobody returns to. Over a few years of fit-outs, a wall can collect a lot of these.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Improvised or mixed-product fire seals
- Unsealed joints where partitions meet the slab
- Builders’ foam or ordinary silicone in compartment walls
- Damaged fire seals in risers and voids
In a hotel such as Lovat Arms Hotel, less than half a mile east of Beauly, new pipework or cabling through bedroom and corridor walls needs sealing with the specified product.

Beauly: questions and answers
Do you work on fire-rated sealing in hotels in Beauly?
Yes, where fire-rated sealant is the specified product. Work is done room by room so the hotel keeps trading; design and sign-off stay with the designer and building control.
Is Beauly too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.

How the job changes by surface
Drylining partitions
Service holes through plasterboard are frequently oversized or ragged. An oversized hole may be outside the sealant’s range, and the detail may call for board patching or another product.
Metal pipes
Metal pipes conduct heat, so their details often call for extra measures along the pipe, and some details add wrapping or a set length of insulation. We follow whatever the detail requires and flag anything we can’t match.
Fire stopping in Beauly: the local picture
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Beauly. In hotels, bedroom and corridor walls are normally fire-resisting, so services added in a refit need sealing with the specified product. In Scotland, clause 2.1.14 of the non-domestic Technical Handbook expects service penetrations to keep at least the fire resistance duration of the wall or floor, with proprietary products, intumescent ones included, tested for their end use. Where fire-rated sealant is specified, that’s what we install, to the tested detail.
For a unit at a site such as Baxter Industrial Estate, which lies north of Beauly, new power or data runs between office and warehouse can breach a compartment wall.
Beauly is about 9 miles west of Inverness, in Highland. Our applicators travel to Beauly for work on service penetrations. Across Highland, 256 places are covered, Beauly among them.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Beauly can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask which product is in place before decorating
- Get seals inspected before ceilings and boxing close
- Don’t let anyone top up a fire seal with the wrong product
- Keep product data and details in the fire safety file
After the work, brief anyone else working in the area that the openings are now sealed. Any seal cut back for a new service needs reinstating to its tested detail, by someone who knows the system.
Keep a register of where seals are and what they are made of. When a new service goes through, everyone knows which product and detail to match.
Our process
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Where we can, we combine work around Beauly with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- The specification and schedule come first, so we know which details apply.
- Access, permits and the order of areas are agreed with the site team.
- We compare every service penetration with its tested detail before sealing.
- Foam, ordinary sealant and debris come out.
- The specified backing and sealant go in to depth and are finished neatly.
- We tell you about openings that need a different product.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
